View Full Version : Josh Kennedy - Luke Livingstone nightmare all over again?
Lockyer24
21 May 2006, 18:17
Interesting times ahead for the Blues. Coming off another spanking this time by the injury decimated and gameplan-less Saints, their great white hope Josh Kennedy is looking more and more like a battling type ala Luke Livingstone, rather than the matchwinning key forward they desperately need.
After being unsighted on debut and snagging some cheap ones against the worst team in the comp in his next game, 7 possesions and 2 marks today against one of the poorer backlines in the AFL - it is looking much like the 2000 draft error in which the Blues picked up Luke Livingstone at Pick 4 in desperation for a key position player overlooking talent such as Cornes, Kerr and Lonie who have all led their teams to Grand Finals.
Amazing that it could happen again so soon - this time with the suprising oversight of the player with the greatest upside in the draft and amazing evasiveness - Scott Pendlebury. No doubt Scott would have added greatly to the Blues 16th ranked midfield and some class to help out Pie fanatic Stevens and the likes of Adam " No im not Jim Plunkett" Bentick.
Won't be too long til the Blues send Kennedy to full back to try and find if they can at least make a Prestigiacomo of the boy at his designated VFL side.
Things aren't all bad though as Murphy continues to battle away despite his obvious physical limitations into the a possible Top 10 finish of the Rising star award and young Bower could develop into a poor man's Heath Shaw off half back if he continues to develop.
Blue skies ahead for Carlton.... but only if they can get it right at the draft table. :)
Are you kidding me? The kid has 3 games and you just jump on him because our senior players can't stand up. Come back to me in another 4 years.

After 5 years on the site, you'd think you'd have the ability to identify which trolls make you look stupid. I may have overestimated you.

A post chock full of humour reached its pinnacle here
The kid will be a gun.
3rd game, not performing to elite levels?? surprised? No.
He'll be very good for the blues in three or four years.

Too early to judge.
Doesn't a troll's effectiveness depend on how much rage it caused in it's intended audience?
That offer to Richmond fans yesterday was a corker.

Quantity can be good, but some of the better trolls are about quality, and go largely unnoticed.
Locks' effort may not draw a large crowd, but its complexity and depth deserves a hat tippin'!

that doesn't even make sense you feral. I think it may be time for you to revisit a school sometime soon.
Lockyer24, using your logic, Pendelbury is crap because he hasnt played a good game yet. Kennedy is worse than Livo, then pendelbury is worse than kennedy. do you actually understand how bad that makes pendelbury sound? oh dear :o .
I suggest you either grow up, go back to school, or actually think for more than 1 second prior to posting your next post.
Kennedy has a big future ahead, and it doesnt take a genius to figure that out. I think its either jealousy, a lack of general football knowledge, extreme hatred of calton to the point that you cannot acknowledge talent, or just plain stupidity which has driven your idiotic post.
moron. :rolleyes:

because he was rushed into senior footy after overcoming a very serious injury.
thats not a very well thought out comment, chooker. not every bloody player performs to the best of their ability in their first few games of senior footy. give the boy some time to adjust for gods sake!

Maybe we could begin a discussion on Josh Fraser's first season. Maybe even his second season. How about his third season. How did Danny Roach go again?

Fraser's first three seasons were excellent (3rd in Rising Star). I'm happy to discuss them if you want.
He's now one of the league's best ruckmen, and would be happy to discuss that too.

Lockyer24 take care with your sledge on Kennedy.
Any Club that has recruiting errors like Collingwood should be a touch humble.:o
1999 Danny Roach # 7
2001 Richard Cole # 11
2003 Billy Morrison # 17
All these first round draft picks are not exactly setting the world on fire at the minute. Oh sorry my mistake they are no longer on your list:rolleyes:

Ha ha ha - and what will you discuss next?!?!? how to nail d i a r r h e a to a wall? ...great joke, I really love your sense of humour.
What a terrible thread. Kennedy looks pretty good. Remember there are 3 Clokes running around in black and white stripes. Also Collingwood have drafted more poorly than any side in recent history.
Remember that with drafting and cycles, each club will win a premiership say every 16 years. I've enjoyed our 4 during my lifetime. How have enjoyed yours Locky??:p

Yet he can't even get a game ahead of Jason and Cameron Cloke.

If Scott Pendelbury is so amazing, then why is Jason Cloke, in particular, getting picked ahead of him?

It took the recruiting of 3 Clokes to find a decent one and the same thing has happened with the Shaws. You wonder what they will do in future if Buckley, Rocca, Burns only have 1 or 2 sons each. All those wasted father/son picks looking for a decent one.

I reckon Kennedy and Livingstone look pretty good
Compared to Predegrast (the next Kouta, so I guess he is grossly over-paid also). Throw in the Irish Sulatana and Livo and Kennedy are guns............
If he was going to be any good he would've shown something by now. Time is clearly running out.

Sorry if Travis actually plays for a half decent side, unlike the Blues who are a complete and utter rabble.

C2 is a hack. Would get a regular game for Carlton though. Not sure why MM is persisting with him. Probably giving him his last chance to do something before delisting/trading him.

Because Kennedy is a first year player and a tall which usually takes you longer to find your feet.
FWIW at this stage of Dunn's first season he was actually playing VFL reserves.

Kennedy clearly is not ready...yet.
Collingwood esentially running two talls in fwd line and the rest smalls. No room for Travis. Cameron a relief ruckman who can pinch hit up fwd line. 3 talls is not our preferrsed set up...right now. Especially night matches at G.
Even v the Dogs we dropped two talls in the back half. Was one of our shortest teams ever.
The small fwd line set up is working a treat right now. Simply why upset that balance. With Tarrant now suspended Travis will probably come in. Travis also having 2nd year Blues a tad been serviceable not much more.

Why not write off an 18 year old? A kid has barely half a dozen games under his belt and you have his career all worked out. I would be happy to have a wager with you that Kennedy has a more successful career than Travis Cloke.
